By this do you mean man as a unique creation? This "unique
creation" does seem to be one central point emphasized by
creationists.

So we have evidence that at the very minimum "suggests"
common ancestry with all living things; sufficent that a
reasonable mind should see it as compelling. I have never
really felt bothered about knowing this common ancestry,
and in fact, it seems much closer to the issue of whether
we "conform to the world" or we "transform" by putting our
faith in Christ. Is it really a requirement that __man__
be the only thing unique about the creation, or could one
read it as _all life_ being the unique creative work of God
and our special place being spiritual, in that we can actually
know and worship God?
